A temporary solution (but not a fix) is to downgrade from actual version
1.2.1-2+precise to version 1.2.0-1.
Here is how to:
Download old packages:
32 bits:
wget
http://packages.linuxmint.com/pool/import/m/mate-bluetooth/libmatebluetooth_1.2.0-1_i386.deb
wget
http://packages.linuxmint.com/pool/import/m/mate-bluetooth/mate-bluetooth_1.2.0-1_i386.deb
64 bits:
wget
http://packages.linuxmint.com/pool/import/m/mate-bluetooth/libmatebluetooth_1.2.0-1_amd64.deb
wget
http://packages.linuxmint.com/pool/import/m/mate-bluetooth/mate-bluetooth_1.2.0-1_amd64.deb
Remove bug packages:
sudo apt-get remove mate-bluetooth libmatebluetooth
Install previous version:
32 bits:
sudo dpkg -i mate-bluetooth_1.2.0-1_i386.deb
libmatebluetooth_1.2.0-1_i386.deb
64 bits:
sudo dpkg -i mate-bluetooth_1.2.0-1_amd64.deb
libmatebluetooth_1.2.0-1_amd64.deb
Hold the old version packages so that they are not updated to the current
version:
sudo echo mate-bluetooth hold | sudo dpkg --set-selections
sudo echo libmatebluetooth hold | sudo dpkg --set-selections
To check if they were properly hold:
sudo dpkg --get-selections mate-bluetooth
sudo dpkg --get-selections libmatebluetooth
To remove the hold for a future update (real) fix:
sudo echo mate-bluetooth install | sudo dpkg --set-selections
sudo echo libmatebluetooth install | sudo dpkg --set-selections
Reboot your system and it should be working again.
